the least fun part writing a game in C# is the last 30% of the dev cycle where you make all the code objectively worse to avoid allocations 🥲

More people should play the game Cobalt Core, I think it is the first game I’ve 100% completed on steam.

Greatly enjoyed Cobalt Core by @braceyourselfgames.com - so here's Riggs, the somewhat-scatterbrained ace pilot of your starship crew, with a cup of boba and her hand cannon that she can *absolutely* be trusted with.
(Pose was inspired by a piece by @beezii.bsky.social, go check them out too!)

Still looking for more alpha testers for KERO, my 2D game framework for Rust! It's like MonoGame or LÖVE, but in Rust!
If you're new to Rust or experienced, anyone is welcome, I think coding games is a cool way to learn a language.

People say that music and sound in games can be “invisible” to players. But imo that’s also an opportunity to make them feel feelings without realizing why?

so the winds have shifted once again and i believe i will, in fact, be open sourcing my rust game dev framework. i wasn’t going to but i got some help and think if i can get one or two more additional core people to help manage it by the end of next year, that would be ideal

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."
A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.
B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

What I would get the most out of would be an overly complicated simulation of ship systems akin to a flight simulator but I’m sure I’m in an even smaller minority there

I think everyone projects their own power fantasy onto that genre of game and is disappointed because it’s a truck driver simulator (although people seem to enjoy those more when they have actual trucks)
